Artist, Producer, Musician Mike Montgomery (R.RING / Ampline / Candyland Recording Studio) announces debut ‘solo’ album Pony Coughing with new project, Nervous Verbs on stalwart record label Don Giovanni. The first two singles, “Vicious Riffs” and “I Am of Tremelo” are streaming everywhere NOW. The full album will be released February 28, 2025 via Don Giovanni Records.
Instead of ensconcing himself in his Candyland Recording Studio with limitless options, Montgomery treated his latest batch of songs as field recordings, often using phone memos to document melodies and entire performances at their inception, where and whenever they might materialize. As he collected these home sketches, he shared them with friends and bandmates (including Kelley Deal (the Breeders), Lori Goldston (Earth / Nirvana), Devin Ocampo (Faraquet / Medications), Joe Suer, Kate Wakefield (Lung), Rick McCarty, Adam Nurre, Matt Hart, Dan Dorff Jr., and Alexis Marsh (DYAN)) who responded with supportive contributions, fostering the initial sparks. Pony Coughing – ostensibly Montgomery’s first ‘solo’ album of a winding 30+year career – celebrates spontaneity and the rough-hewn authenticity of first (and sometimes only!) takes.”
